Google is rolling out its new gradient icon style to more apps, replacing older flat, all-color logos.
The updated icons use softer shapes, rounded layouts, and more distinct visuals, especially across Workspace apps.
Apps like Sheets, Slides, Forms, Sites, Keep, Gemini, Photos, Maps, and Chat are part of the broader refresh.
The change suggests a wider Google design shift that could better match its AI-era branding and modern visual system.
